Enthusiastic and long review of the post-apocalyptic trilogy I wrote with my friend, Nancy Butcher. This series never got a whole lof of play, but there are some dedicated fans out there, all the same...

Somebody is suggesting Colbert have me on the Colbert Report, as I am "the biggest liberal who could ever be spawned in this good country. She claims that she loves America but we all know she is lying."

So evidently some conservative nutter has read The American Story and -- who knows? didn't like the story about Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs? Thought I was "soft" on Native Americans?

This was back in early May, but I forgot to post this picture of the banner hanging from the public library. I spent two days in Barre middle schools and being feted. Like I always say, being feted is much nicer than being fetid. It was a little weird to discuss a book I wrote fifteen years ago -- the kids I was talking to were more familiar with it than I was. I meant to reread it before I went, but for some reason I didn't. And I couldn't remember many of the details. I said something about one of the characters, and the kids in the classroom all said, "Huh? No she didn't!" Ooops.

About Me

I've been writing children's books for about twenty years, with great success and a lot of pleasure. This year is the first time, however, that I have had two big books coming out almost simultaneously. Managing the publicity scheduling has become a second career all by itself. This blog is a way of keeping friends, family and colleagues updated on what's happening on the publicity trail.
